22 minSeason 2 • Episode 10
LatestJay is hosting his 10th anniversary show held at Carnegie Hall where he showcases a number of movie clips from old episodes such as Jurassic Park 2, Every Which Way but Lucid, and Rabbi P.I. The show is later held hostage by a number of terrorists who threaten to blow the place up with a bomb tied to Jay's waist. Fortunately, everybody is eventually rescued by Milton Berle.
Jay Sherman is a TV movie critic who is forced to review the most pathetic films which he always rates as "It stinks." In addition to the film parodies, the show also deals with his personal life: working for a tyrannical media mogul boss, his lovelife and his family.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Simpsons crossover 'A Star Is Burns' caused a feud: Matt Groening hated promoting another show and removed his name from the credits.
The film parodies (especially the Kubrick and Disney roasts) were written by future Simpsons showrunners Reiss and Jean at their most unleashed.
